About the director:
Jan-Willem van Ewijk
Director and screenwriter. He worked as an aircraft designer and investment banker before leaving his career to pursue filmmaking. He wrote, directed, edited, and starred—alongside former banking colleagues, friends, and family—in his debut feature Nu., which received a Special Mention for Best Debut Feature at the Dutch Film Festival. His second feature, Atlantic., about a Moroccan windsurfer, was selected for the Sundance Writer’s Lab and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. After the pandemic, he shot two features back-to-back: the US-based Pacifica., about a father who loses his teenage daughter in a shooting, and Alpha. Van Ewijk is currently developing his first science-fiction film, Cupola.
